Has anyone converted a golf cart to use for hunting? Put a four wheel drive conversion kit on, mud grips, lifted it a little? I've been thinking about doing to stay quiet but definitely cant afford a Bad Boy Buggy. How smooth are they? Thanks for the help
MANY MANY... I have several that I used... They are quiet, dont smell of gas, and you get just as many accessories as regular side by sides.. I drive them right to the deer and haul it out and make less noise than if I was huffing and puffing dragging it.. 1991 Club Car 6 inch lift 27 inch mud tires seats 4 48 volt with over sized silinoids, switches Does 30 mph...

I had the same thoughts and converted this one, 98' Yamaha G16 6" Jakes A-lift (should of got spindle drop) mine is only 36V, new batteries, New beast motor, still need to get a new speed controller and some H/D things like selenoid & F/R switch. Its amazing how quite these things are bc they simply displace weight onto 4 tires instead of walking and breaking everything. Ive driven right up on deer and they will just look at you, plus you dont leave a scent trail. If you have steeper and heavier terrain I would recommend a 48V system. Im actually going to sell mine and start over, just for fun. I like tinkering and building stuff.
Is 48V the biggest they make? How long does a full charge last? I still haven't decided if I'm going to get one or not. I'm not sure it would work good in my area. I just love the fact that its quiet, dang near silent. I'm definitely not going to buy one of they expensive BB buggies, etc. Can't afford that.
36-48V is the standard golf cart, 48V is usually the biggest golf cart you can get. Theres not a whole lot of difference, just two batteries which you can add yourself while building the system. (same thing im prob going to do) Full charge will last several days but if your riding for a long period of time then maybe 15 miles. This is the only part that truely sucks , you have to get back and wait 4-6 hrs for a charge. The bigger buggies in the industry are 64-72V systems and 4x4 so thats where all the money comes in.
If I do decide to get one, I will have to get a 4X4 or have to install the conversion kit I have been told about to make it 4X4. I will probably have to get a 48V also. We have 357 acres that we own, that is about 4.5 miles around the perimeter and about 6 miles of trails to run on. It does sound like a full charge would last an entire weekend though. I'll have to keep looking into it
